Gratifyingly, your multidimensional “Reflecting on race” issue of Jan. 13 goes well beyond traditional black-white coverage, especially with Maya Rock ’02’s article on the increasingly prevalent multiracial identity in America today.
In our Princeton graduating class 57 years ago, I could count all the minority students (i.e., non-Caucasian) on one hand. Today, however, the pot continues to melt. I can look at my own kids, who in their origins are three-eighths Chinese, one-eighth Peruvian (Latino), one-quarter Hungarian, and the rest German with a little English. Tailor-made for a career, were any of them to go into politics!
It’s a whole new world out there.
